  • Executive Summary
    34th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 12th September 2019 This is my Thirty-Fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th July – 29th August 2019. Executive Summary Cycleway 4 construction to start ahead of schedule On 27 August, I announced that the next section of Cycleway 4 will start ahead of schedule. Once complete, Cycleway 4 will add 10km of segregated cycle route to London’s network – enabling thousands more people to enjoy the benefits of this major new route between Tower Bridge and Greenwich sooner. New pedestrian crossings are set to make the area much easier for people walking to get around. Notting Hill Carnival On Sunday 25 August, I spent the afternoon enjoying the music, magnificent parade costumes and sunshine at Notting Hill Carnival. Currently in its 53rd year, it is a celebration of Caribbean culture, that attracted an estimated 1 million people across the weekend. The event would not have been the success it was without the hard work of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, the public and the voluntary agencies involved, and I thank them for their dedication. New figures show year of stability for London’s pubs On 24 August, new City Hall research shows the number of pubs in London remained stable between 2017 and 2018 after falling by more than a quarter since 2001 London pubs have been a key part of our capital’s heritage for generations, helping to unite Londoners and acting as a vital hub in the community.

  • Mayor's Report January 2020
    39th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time (Final Budget) – 24th February 2020 This is my thirty-ninth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 3rd January – 10th February 2020. Executive Summary Streatham incident statement On 2 February, a man was shot dead by armed police in Streatham following an incident that is being treated as terrorism-related. A number of people are believed to have been stabbed. I am in close contact with the Met Commissioner and local representatives, and want to thank our police, security and emergency services staff for their swift and courageous response. They truly are the best of us. Terrorists seek to divide us and to destroy our way of life - here in London we will never let them succeed. London is Open On Friday 31 January, the day the UK left the EU, I worked with partners across the city to spread the message that London Is Open to Londoners and our international friends. This day was particularly difficult for over one million European Londoners who have made our city their home. In order to support and reassure them that they will always belong here, I opened the doors of City Hall in the evening, hosting a special event that provided free legal advice on the EU Settlement Scheme and emotional support services. Over 400 EU Londoners and other Londoners attended the event to access those services. I made a speech at the event telling them that London would always be open to them.

  • GLA Letter Template
    (By email) Our Ref: MGLA210720-8554 4 August 2020 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the Greater London Authority (GLA) received on 21 July 2020. Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. You asked what plans the GLA has to: • increase the number of cycle route options across South East London? • improve the safety of existing cycle routes (i.e. ban parking in cycle lanes and distinguish from bus lanes)? • introduce and expand cycle super highways across SE London please? Our response to your request is as follows: We have a comprehensive plan to enable more people to cycle safely in south-east London and add to the existing cycle routes in the area. Quietway 1, an existing route, connects Greenwich, Deptford and Bermondsey to central London. We want to extend this route via Blackheath and Eltham to the University of Greenwich Avery Hill campus. We have also provided funding to Greenwich for a cycle route from Greenwich Park to Shooters Hill. Construction work has restarted on Cycleway 4, a segregated route between Tower Bridge and Greenwich, and we’re working with Southwark and Lewisham councils to build the sections of the route on their roads (Lower Road & Evelyn Street) in temporary materials so that it can be in place quickly and support our recovery from the pandemic. We’re also working with Greenwich to extend the route through Greenwich Town Centre and to Charlton. We’ve worked with the Old Royal Naval College to allow cycling on College Way through their site, which was previously not permitted, enable cyclists to avoid the A206.

  • Greenwich Cycleway 3 March 2021 About Lewisham Cyclists
    Contact: le [email protected] Website: w ww.lewishamcyclists.co.uk Lewisham Cyclists (local borough group of the London Cycling Campaign) response to Royal Borough of Greenwich consultation on Eltham - Greenwich Cycleway 3 March 2021 About Lewisham Cyclists Lewisham Cyclists (LC) are the local borough group of the London Cycling Campaign (LCC) with more than 1500 supporters of whom over 700 are fully paid-up members of LCC. We speak up on behalf of everyone who cycles or wants to cycle in the London Borough of Lewisham and its adjacent local parks; and we speak up for a greener, healthier, happier and better-connected capital. General comments on this scheme: Lewisham Cyclists are very supportive of this scheme as it will significantly improve active travel along this route which is close to the boundary with Lewisham. As such many of our members, and other cyclists and pedestrians, will benefit from the quieter roads which will bring this strategic active travel corridor in line with London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS), with a Cycling Level of Service (CLoS) rating of 70 or above, with all “critical issues” eliminated. We are especially pleased that Greenwich is addressing the issue of heavy peak hours traffic along Kidbrooke Park Gardens, and the planned filter will effectively enable many more people to walk and travel by bicycle in safety along this vital stretch, something which is not currently possible during busy periods of heavy traffic, well in excess of this residential road’s capacity. In practical terms this will enable many residents of Greenwich to travel quickly, conveniently and safely from areas including Eltham, Well Hall, and Woolwich Common to popular destinations including Blackheath, Greenwich, Deptford and right through to central London along Quietway 1 or Cycleway 4 - currently under construction beyond Greenwich town centre towards Tower Bridge.
